Check in the webpage where you downloaded the new firmware from and look for more than 1 firmware, maybe 1.0 or something like thatCan i get back to original firmware for Terminator 2 ?

Today I upgraded my Terminator + to latest firmware using an M2 macbook air. No problems at all. Smooth upgrade. Configured clock and i2s after to match again my Gaia DDC.
I spent like 2 hours of critical listening to well known tracks and I liked the change. Looks like it gained even more detail and "life". Hard to tell without an A/B test but quite happy.

I have the same experience left & right dsd channel swap. After run thru 000 to 111, seem like dac 111 setting is correct but need swap dsd channel. DDC remain 000.Yes , i configure the I2S .
